Splinter Meeting Relativistic

Relativistic astrophysics

Time: Friday September 11, 14:00-15:45 and 16:15-18:00 CEST (UTC+2)

Room: MW-1050

Convenor(s): Eva Hackmann, Odele Straub, Claus Lämmerzahl
University of Bremen and Ecellence Cluster ORIGINS

This session covers the observational and theoretical aspects of the physics in strong gravitational fields and of the emergence of high energy phenomena. Strong gravity and relativity will be important for the formation and nature of white dwarfs, Neutron Stars and Black Holes. Physical phenomena in the vicinity of compact objects are lensing and shadows, the motion of stars in strong gravitational fields, gravitational waves, accretion disks, jets, and Gamma-Ray-Bursts. Also the aspects of relativity in cosmology and dark matter search will be part of this session.
